I hate the sort of people that assume every man is like themselves and their little circle, and every woman is like the two they met and had a conversation deeper than a puddle with (if that).
Really wish the guys who my mate saw every single time she was on the National Express coach to London from Leeds having a wank we’re more stoic about where they took pleasure.
“A long flight, for women, is the perfect venue to organize an entire itinerary of treats, and I do think men tend to be more stoic and weird about the spaces in which they allow themselves to receive pleasure.”
"treats" in this case being... reading a book or something? what is this nonsense
My command of the English language includes slang, regional dialectical expressions, and other specialized language, but I'm flummoxed.
I have no idea wtf he's talking about.
Men would prefer to sit still on a 21 hour flight, staring at the back of the plane seat in front of them, and not eating or drinking or going to the toilet, rather than go to therapy.
"What would Leonidas of Sparta do if he was flying coach"
Also I 💯 expected this to be some weird sex thing dudes were doing on long flights and this reality is almost as disappointing?
I mean...it's total sexual slang they're using. Applied to...doing nothing. This is soooo freaking weird. I thought it was going to be about secretly masturbating on flights, and the reality of the article is even weirder. Like, my fellow dudes...read a book! Take a nap! Listen to calming music!
I can understand having generalized flight anxiety, but the fact that *none* of these guys even came close to considering the merest possibility of, oh, I don't know, reading a book just for fun?
My god. So bleak.
a long long time ago i dropped acid before a night time transatlantic flight and the flight map was the coolest shit in the world also the wings flap i learned that. big ol' goose wings on planes.
As I read the article and then stumbled here I remembered one of my Paul-brother gendered friends as he went to a movie with a soda cup full of booze. He sat down comfortably and soon realized the alcohol was eating through his cup, chugged it down veeery fast and had the movie night of his life.
Like is reading a book a treat? I thought it was generally considered self enrichment, and something a 10 hour flight gives you a lot of uninterrupted time to do.
It’s really weird
As a kid I played Gameboy on flights, now I read or watch movies or play games on my laptops.
Who’s masculinity it so fragile that they want to AVOID BOREDOM
